Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Savor the bright flavors of lemon and garlic in this beautifully pan-seared chicken, served alongside tender roasted asparagus. The dish offers a refreshing and zesty profile paired with a subtle hint of herb infusions, perfect for a balanced and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
8 Asparagus Spears
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper (if desired).
Finely mince the garlic and zest the half lemon; then, squeeze the lemon juice and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half the olive oil. Sear the chicken breast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
In a separate bowl, toss the asparagus spears with the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Once the chicken is done, remove from the pan and drizzle with the lemon-garlic mixture. Let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Plate the chicken with a side of roasted asparagus. Garnish with lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor.
